No, as it happens, THIS is a tremendous post about the most important author in science fiction history, the Fifth of the Big Three, the biggest, baddest, bestselling dog at Tor Books, the man with more Hugo nominations than Arthur C. Clarke or Jerry Pournelle and more Hugo Awards than Ray Bradbury, A.E. van Vogt, Lester del Rey, Gregory Benford, Norman Spinrad, Terry Pratchett and Iain M. Banks combined, the writer whose innovative "he said, he said, he said" structure has shocked and awed and intimidated the entire science fiction writing community and forever altered the way it approaches writing dialogue.

Our case study today is John Scalzi, a quisling male emblematic of so much that has gone haywire with White American men (and their beards).

Exhibit A: This is Scalzi’s Christmas card. He signed off on it. He approved of it. This is how he wants the world to see him.

Exhibit B: Scalzi in love. Here Scalzi is in the submissive position, an obvious inferior looking up to his wifely better.

Exhibit C: Scalzi smooches. Kissing upward and nuzzling his doughy face into hard manjawline, eyes closed as his hunky lady peers into the middle distance looking burdened with the weight of the world (or for an escape from her husband’s octopus lips), Scalzi eagerly inverts the sexual polarity, taking on the role of the woman in his marriage, ceding all the T to his wife.

Exhibit D: Serious Scalzi. Scalzi tries to look serious (ie like a normal man), but is still out-mugged by his wife, who looks more serious, and tougher, than him.

People have mostly given up trying to sell the narrative, but I always found it bizarre when people tried to claim that I envied John Scalzi. On what planet, and for what reason, would I, or any man, ever envy a gamma male like that?

I find the most interesting thing about Scalzi to be the fact that he somehow managed to delay the inevitable gamma self-implosion until he reached a much higher level of success than is conventionally the case. This suggests that his implosion, when it inevitably comes, is going to be absolutely spectacular.

The best part of the Chateau post is the comments from the women there.

What I really despise about this guy is that he’s contributing to the further ruin of science fiction. So why do these mannish women latch on to these beta guys? Seeing stuff like this out of a man makes me hurt inside. It’s instinctive, like being scared of rattlesnakes. How do women kill them in themselves, and why would they want to?

Exhibit B made my ovaries shrivel.

Who’s that gay bloke standing next to the giant woman?

Some might fear that the lack of compassion and respect shown in this post might cost Heartiste any chance of being nominated for the Vox Day Mutual Respect Award from The Vox Day Center for Mutual Respect. However, I would observe that the metric for the Vox Day Mutual Respect Award given out by The Vox Day Center for Mutual Respect is "showing compassion and respect" for one's "fellow man", and therefore, due to the subject's observable lack of any identifiable signs of actual manhood, it would not be correct to hold this post against le Chateau.

Scalzi has to write three books this year while promoting his newest. The stress is going to be enormous and oh-so-triggery. Perhaps we should start handing out the John Scalzi Mangina Award for Service in the Demasculation of Humanity to any Betas who happen mimic the fool.

@1 The article was more like a sewing machine that starts slowly and then rapidly spins up to speed as the operator pressed down on the pedal. So yes, it is a shiving of epic proportions written in the way that only Heartiste can write - poetically.

To be fair, it's not as if that manboob isn't a cornucopia of things worth mocking. Take your pick.

This suggests that his implosion, when it inevitably comes, is going to be absolutely spectacular.

Hard to even imagine how spectacular it will be. Jeffrey Dahmer spectacular with body parts in basement refrigerators? BDSM Nazi-themed torture chambers under the expansive front yard? Who can truly know the depravity of his mind and soul?

Yes make fun of Scalzi all you want, but I would rather hear from him why his white male demasculinization act is superior to old fashioned reactionary masculinity. And perhaps while he is scolding us like zshe is an old biddy zshe can explain that his act should be taken up by the glorious men of color as well.

"but I always found it bizarre when people tried to claim that I envied John Scalzi. On what planet, and for what reason, would I, or any man, ever envy a gamma male like that?"

Well, he's a far more successful writer and better storyteller than you. He's been given many more accolades from his peers and fans than you have. He's taken more seriously in the world of science fiction that you. You can't seem to get his goat as you clearly want to. He's a real American, unlike you.

Your obsession is showing, Vox. You should lower your skirt.

I'm pretty sure the boss, unlike Scalzi, isn't into being ramrodded by giant Amazon bitches, but you obviously aren't a regular reader so you can be forgiven your ignorance.

Goodness me, where are my manners. Congratulations Vox, for being nominated for the Vox Day Mutual Respect Award from The Vox Day Center for Mutual Respect. You set the standard in compassion and respect we all hope to emulate.

An off topic reminder, five days until T Day, that standing for both Trump Day and Triggering Day. To aid in the triggering, All Your Base Are Belong To Us, 2.0, should be live on or about noon on the 19th. Be sure to post it to every lefty on line presence you can think of.

And Vox, I don't know if you ever saw this, but you show up very briefly here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDUwXFvTJfA at about :43.

The tide has turned. Trump has made testosterone manly again. These quislings, as Ivan Throne names them, will now death spiral into despair as real man cause them to retreat back into the closet of shame.

Context matters. A room full of coprophages, queers and escapees from residential programs for self-cutters & bulimics isn't much a valuable source of accolades, even if it pays well.

Anyone who thinks Vox has any reason to be jealous of Scalzi has clearly never seen a picture of Space Bunny.

We've been reasonably informed by the left that she doesn't actually exist. Poor McRapey...the man whose masculinity was taken by the same violent act he publicly proclaimed to have a proclivity towards.

Here I thought I was the only one here having a New Years Eve like that.

If Scalzi wasn't such a shithead, I'd pity the poor hopeless gamma (many of us were blue-pilled before as he is). But he is a hopeless shithead, so his main usefulness now is as a live demonstration of the destructiveness of going Full Gamma.

"Which isn’t to say I’m not writing a novel in 2016. In fact, I’m writing two(!). Merely that Tor has decided to wait until 2017 to release the next new one.Why the wait? Among other things, because Tor just dropped a ton of money on me so we want to make sure we debut this next novel, the first in the new contract, just right. I’m on board with this plan."

So it was Tor that "decided to wait" to release FOUNDATIONS FLOW, eh? Not really.

From Whatever, Dec. 6, 2016:

"The election already dragged out the writing of The Collapsing Empire and contributed to me turning it in late (which I’ve made up for — slightly — by expediting edits),"

As we all suspected, JohnnyCon turned in a crappy manuscript and Tor demanded a major rewrite, forcing a year's delay. Given the amateurish quality of the excerpt at Tor's website,

where he demonstrates he has no clue how to handle exposition, Tor's lawyers must be feverishly combing Scalzi's 13 book contract for outs, and PNH will be looking at employment options come March 21st.

I hated Scalzi and (successfully) trolled him on Twitter long before I ever visited this place.

In fact, Vox's scorn towards Scalzi was a strong point in his favor when I first learned about him.

Still, I had no idea Scalzi was as pathetic as that post exposed him to be. I thought he was just a typical leftist dope, not a loathsome, intensely self-hating wimp less manly than a great many homosexuals, including queens.

Also, this is a fine companion piece to the visual exhibit, where Scalzi is proud of his (teen?) daughter being much physically stronger than him, and his wife and daughter generally being superior to him in every way;

I used to wonder why Vox bothers with Scalzi, a grown man who uses the word "squee." Then I realized if Scalzi didn't exist Vox would have to invent him, because Scalzi exemplifies his teachings on SJWs perfectly, without being some basement dwelling loser.

So after visiting link, again found one of Vox's posts to be excruciatingly accurate. One wonders who (in their right mind) would post gamma photos, tweets, etc, as demonstrated in the link. Pretty sad, IMO.

You forgot "The Warrior of the Wasteland; the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!"

Well, he's a far more successful writer and better storyteller than you. He's been given many more accolades from his peers and fans than you have. He's taken more seriously in the world of science fiction that you.

Scalzi’s the kind of man who brings out the worst in a woman. I wouldn’t have him, not necessarily because he’s gross (which he is) but because he’d turn me into a bitch--there’d be no stopping it; his weakness is enraging on a deep instinctual level. You might as well serve your babies to the dingoes on a silver platter.

writing is the ONLY thing Scalzi "does" professionally. Scalzi had damn well better be better than Vox or this could become quite ... how you say? ... problematic?

so far as "better storyteller", that's wholly subjective. and given that the modern Fake-Fi crowd is busy telling me that Heinlein is a Fascist and Van Vogt is a sexist and all the other retarded shit you idiots say ... i'm going to take your opinion with a grain of salt.

And still no intellectual reasons for Scalzi being a huge fucking douchebag of a pussy. Scalzi should crow to the heavens that he is a huge fucking pussy and proud of it, that he truly has escaped the "toxic masculinity" that seemingly only affects white men.

The reason folks take such joy in Vox's shredding of Scalzi is because of the man's character. Some time ago he attacked Vox and his fiction writings, because Scalizi wanted to push the liberal narrative for personal gain. He does push that narrative with all sort of very weird and less than male behaviors.

Now I have noticed in watching folks, with the exception of combat vets, most American males will attempt to look the other way when such a person opens their mouth to show what a weak person they are. But we have just undergone 8 years of an attempt to totally subvert everything male, traditionally American and what any religious person would see as right and proper. Scalizi, for whatever reason decided to join this anti-American effort and in so doing revealed himself as something which normal men would hold as a threat, perhaps because of the weird time we live in. Threats are squashed.

So while folks here may be a bit brutal, the best one can say is Scalizi earned every bit of their scorn and contempt. You have to know the backstory to appreciate this.

@Sam the ManYour reasoning is superfluous. These are self-loathing half-men driven by fear and feelz. Just point and laugh at them when their gibbering heads pop out of the slime, it's all they understand.

Found an old piece of writing from around 92 today. Could not finish reading it, the cringe was so overpowering. "Holy crap, I sound like a girl. No wonder my oneitis couldn't stand me." It certainly wasn't tingle-inducing.

Go be enraged...After all, there must be something about which you can obsess:

"his weakness is enraging on a deep instinctual level..."

A hypothetical statement that does not apply in the real world, since she was not stupid enough to marry an SJW. If you cannot comprehend what other people actually say, rather than what you wanted them to say, then you make yourself look foolish.

Also, this is a fine companion piece to the visual exhibit, where Scalzi is proud of his (teen?) daughter being much physically stronger than him, and his wife and daughter generally being superior to him in every way;

I suppose if his daughter has been a high-school powerlifter for three years and he is a Gamma with a complete dad bod there might be at least a slight excuse for his being weaker than her... but Scalzi claims that his wife is stronger than both of them.

If anyone is in fact still wondering why women always take the sexual initiative in Gamma-written novels...

@57 "...Scalzi earned every bit of their scorn and contempt. You have to know the backstory to appreciate this."

I'd wager they're well versed with the backstory already. Despite the standard Leftist display of Corky-meets-Lenin style ignorance and arrogance, "exact knowledge of the subject" doesn't seem to be their problem in this case.

"A hypothetical statement that does not apply in the real world, since she was not stupid enough to marry an SJW. If you cannot comprehend what other people actually say, rather than what you wanted them to say, then you make yourself look foolish."

Zil Sac wrote:"A hypothetical statement that does not apply in the real world, since she was not stupid enough to marry an SJW. If you cannot comprehend what other people actually say, rather than what you wanted them to say, then you make yourself look foolish."

The obsession can't be palpable because it doesn't exist. The anger may be, but it's not aimed toward the object in question. It's aimed toward emasculated men in general, and more specifically the devilish plot to make women men and men women, thereby robbing us all of natural, biological, earthly happiness.

Scalzi’s open-mouthed gape ever-so-subtly hints at a cloying adoration, and he strokes his deluxe buttplug with anticipatory sensuality. You will notice similar poses in almost all of John Scalzi’s photos with his wife.

The photos of Scalzi holding that nineteen-fifties Old's hood ornament are creepy as fuck. There really is a sexual tension between him and his Hugo.

It's an obsession. Maybe I'll write about it...over and over and over again, but I'll claim it's not an obsession.

Do what you like. I don't care. I've made it clear that I'll never stop hammering Scalzi until a) he profusely apologizes to the Dread Ilk and makes amends or b) dies. Given his misplaced pride, I think we can safely assume that it's literally never going to end for him. Ever.

Which is fine by me. I don't permit my sadistic side many outlets, so it's nice to always have McRapey.

"My wife will be home shortly I'll be tending to her needs-- feminized!"John Scalzi on Twitter.

The thing to remember about Scalzi is that he enjoys wallowing in his own masculine debasement.

He enjoys making masculine men turn away from him in disgust. It's defense mechanism for him and it probably started in high school.

He was the kind of boy who would get a wedgie in the locker room and then say something like, "jokes on you, I just had an orgasm!"

Sure he'd get slapped in disgust for it but the other boys tended to stay away from him after something like that.

He doesn't have normal Alpha resentment. He has Alpha hatred.

In Old Man's War the most jarring scene for me, isn't the geriatric orgy (in the lego building blocks kind of pastiche he was doing, that was to be expected).

The thing that took me right out of the story was the officer's meet and greet. The officer identifies one of his new troopers as likely having been a Marine Corps sergeant.

This military officer immediately leaps into a shrieking tirade against stupid,bullying, tough guy Marine Corps sergeants. I mean I could picture the character jumping up and down, while his face turned purple and veins throbbed at the temples.

It took me so completely out of the story I literally put the book down and said, "what the fuck was that?"

Bingo. He's never recovered psychologically from being the kid in the wheelchair stuck spending recess in the nurse's office while all the healthy children played outside.

One would feel pity for him if he wasn't so unbalanced and full of hate for everyone and everything normal and healthy. To him, victimhood is moral superiority. The combination of his paternal abandonment issues with his atheism, resentment, and midwit intellectual status irreparably twisted his psychology. This isn't an ordinary gamma we're dealing with here.

"... the metric for the Vox Day Mutual Respect Award given out by The Vox Day Center for Mutual Respect is 'showing compassion and respect' for one's 'fellow man' ..."

Fortunately the "Christian Day Schools" do not support the risible notion of turning one's cheek unless one is expecting a fist thrown in one's face, and even then the compassionate beating that soon follows is merely a formality of expressing Christian love to those who are needing it in its toughest form.

But sometimes there are Good Samaritans who see what is happening who think, "Gee, administering a compassionate beating to someone who is deserving of such a thing looks fun and totally just, so I should help these fine people by joining in!"

(cf. the US Southern concept of "he needed an ass whoopin'" for further details ...) :-)

i'll have you know that as a charter member of the The Vox Day Center for Mutual Respect i feel that it is HIGHLY disrespectful of you to refuse to recognize Zil Sac's life choice to identify as a Masochist.

i, on the other hand, am giving zhe beating that zhe's spent so much of zer life obsessing about.

Exhibit A: This is Scalzi’s Christmas card. He signed off on it. He approved of it. This is how he wants the world to see him.

Yeah. According to this picture, the world consists of a giant... lawn. The Scalzi figure is the smallest, most insignificant critter on Lawnworld, there as a cheerleader for the flanking Stronk Womyn. It assumes the wild-eyed Squeee!!! position. 2016 is a dark grey, Pandora-coffin-box filled with nasty burning things, better to be left unspecified, Vox Day. Now we can look forward, together, to a Happy 2017!

Will President God-Emperor Trump be able to help her finish her book in 2017? Or, will Tor Books give her the old 2016 flaming grey coffin treatment?

Yeah, what a study. Thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention.

A second interpretation of the Scalzi Lawnworld cartoon. The Kingdom of Lawnworld is actually ruled by Secret King, who stays in power by seemingly remaining behind the scenes, in a state of eternal Squeee. He is veritably surrounded by Stronk Womyn gazed upon in awe, womyn who tend the sacred lawn, do the heavy lifting, mightily heave out the flaming 2016 garbage, and all while standing stronk upon pedestal with folded arms. But Secret King is really the one in control of it all.

Semi-OT but still with the revisionism of the uber-wimmens: The BBC have ruined Sherlock Holmes, not only does he have a smarter brother Mycroft but they now have a sister who is superior to both of them in every way possible.

Will they never tire of this tedious denial of reality and simultaneous ruination of the past?

Upon reading his bio and his sufferings you'd think he would undo bad programming, bad memories of ill health and not hate the good pple but he really does dislike us and hates alphas, hates, sigmas, he hates strong men. Then the McRapey stuff wasnt surprising but still appalling.

His level of hatred is borning, weaving it way into his daughter in that he is teaching her to hate and be a feminist, what an act of abuse and retardation.

His wife must be a saint of sorts to live with him in that love is strange.
